Online Level 5

The course was structured extremely well. It was easy to navigate. I love the fact that you get multiple times to redo a quiz and there are no time limits to a quiz. The uploading process was simple and quick. Instructions as to how to go about the uploading process was explained well too. It really goes in depth about class room management styles and how to approach students from various cultures. The assignments are structured reasonably and does intensify after every unit. Tutors are very responsive and there are no backlogs. Extremely user friendly and overall a 10/10 experience.

Pros
  • Online so you can work at your own pace.
  • Hands on tutors.
  • No time limit to the cause.
Cons
  • You only get 6months to complete it.
  • Refund period is only 14 from purchase date.
  • Having to convert all files to pdf

Online Certificate Experience

This review will likely not be very helpful, I have only just now completed my certification. I have just applied to one of the jobs on the job board but I have secured one yet so I can not speak to my application of what I learned in the program. However, I will say I was able to complete my certificate sooner than I expected. It was well organised and I received feedback on my assignments quicker than I expected sometimes even on weekends. I could recommend this certificate to anyone who wants to learn the practical information needed for English teaching.

Pros
  • Well organised
  • Prompt communication
  • High quality content
Cons
  • Varying quality of instructor feedback

Online Level 5 TEFL course

This course was one of the best I've ever had! I enjoyed it very much, even though I have to admit for me it wasn't easy, because I have no theoretical background and no experience in teaching. But I took it as a challenge and I succeeded! The course is very well designed, easy to understand, it gives a lot of useful information and materials and the feedbacks received from those evaluating the papers are useful and constructive. I learned a lot during this course and I recommend it to anyone wanting to teach English or just to develop themselves in this field.

My TEFL 5 online course experience

When I decided to enroll in the TEFL 5 online course I didn't imagine that it would be so interesting and it was a compelling experience, too. The Units were full of creative and engaging activities and they helped me a lot with the assignments later on. When it comes to the tests, they were precisely and clearly constructed and the most important things were examined. The assignments were very helpful and I think they will be very useful in every aspect of my online teaching career and I will use them in almost every class. Overall, I gained an experience and knowledge that I will convey to my future students, regardless their age and level.

Pros
  • Very useful exercises and activities
  • Creative and helpful videos
  • Assignments and lesson plans that will be used in everyday work
Cons
  • Not communicating to the mentors
  • No real contact to the TEFL teachers
  • More contact to the other students

Amazing learning experience

The programme is absolutely amazing. When I took the programme I had other commitments, so I had to opt for online learning, however, the experience was just as informative and I feel it prepares you well for the working world. I would definitely recommend it to someone who does not have time to attend in-person classes, because you can create your own study timetable and you are given 6 months to complete the programme which is more than enough time. Even if you do not manage to finish within the given 6 months, you have the option to extend your enrollment by a month, or by three months.

Pros
  • flexible schedule
  • simple user interface
  • covers all aspects of teaching ESL students
Cons
  • may feel a bit disconnected from the tutors

Outstanding and very rewarding

The TEFL Academy online course is perfect for both teachers wanting to improve their skills and learn new teaching methods and for English language lovers who would like to take on the challenge to become an English teacher. All information is offered in a very clear way, with a great variety of practical examples and useful activities. Assignments are extremely interesting and very target oriented, and can easily be put in practice during actual future teaching activities. Accessible also through mobile, it offers total flexibility insofar studying times are concerned, a great plus for professionals with a busy schedule. I loved every moment of this beautiful journey!

Pros
  • Very well structured
  • Great emphasis on praxis
  • Plenty of innovative ideas
Cons
  • None!

A course essential for teachers

I initially decided to follow this TEFL course because I had considered teaching English to be an ideal job for me but was not completely sure about pursuing this career.
I realize now however that it has been a wonderful choice to complete this course which has enriched me both as a person and as a student regardless of the great teaching career one can potentially pursue having completed the course.
The tools made available to the student during the course are exceptional and I have nothing but praise for this wonderful course which I believe to be essential for any teacher.

Pros
  • Stellar explanations during the course.
  • Interactive activities during the course.
  • Clear and precise feedback from assignments.
